Another couple days have passed, Naruto had spent the night in the forest. Uchiha had claimed to be going on a walk, yet I knew he went to go see Naruto.

It was about time to eat, I looked at Kakashi who just shrugged. I sat next to the kid, we were about to start eating when Naruto and the Uchiha bursted through the door.

Each had a arm slinged around the other, they looked really gay. Besides that Naruto smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"We did it." Uchiha smirked, Naruto had finished the sentence. "We climbed a tree all the way to the top, believe it!"

I smirked and muttered something about them being gay under my breathe. They both sat at the table.

We ate normally, with the occasional chatter. Until Naruto had spoken up. "Why is that picture ripped?"

I looked to where he was pointing, Inari's dad. I slapped Naruto upside the head, until I noticed Inari was crying, poor kid. Tazuna proceeded to say things about Inari's dad. Naruto had noticed Inari's crying.

"Hey, Crybaby. You need to man up, stop crying and be a man." I wanted to giggle but stopped myself, he sounded like Elfman. Inari stood up and ran out the door.

Tsunami was about to get up, I pushed her back down and smiled. "I calm the kid down."

I walked out the house and onto the small porch. I walked around to the back, where I had found Inari sitting and sobbing. I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Things will work out just fine, kid." I rubbed his back and looked out into the sea.

"How did you get over your mom's death?" Inari ad asked in between sobs.

"To tell you the truth, kid, you never do." He looked at me, tears streaming down his face. "You never get over it because you can't forget them. Each person has their own way of coping with a loss, mine was shutting out everyone around me. I would lock myself in my room and train for hours on end. My father didn't care, he left me to my own. I was used to that I ever had any friends when I was younger."

His sobs grew quite, I felt a few warm tears drop down my face. "I'm sorry, I don't cry too often."

I felt a arm wrap its way around my waist, I smiled and ruffled the kid's hair. "I guess Naruto calling me a crybaby was true."

"I wonder how many times he has called himself a crybaby." Inari looked at me with confusion. "From the extent of my knowledge, Naruto hasn't been treated well. The village had shunned him, why? I am not to sure, but we are a team and I am going to figure out why. If I am here long enough..."

The last part had been said under my breath, unnoticed by Inari.

~~

I was rudely awakened by a Uchiha who just smirked. I sat up, slowly, I hate mornings with a passion.

I reapplied my bandages, making sure they were tight. Before I did that I made Uchiha leave the room.

I walked down the stairs, noticing Naruto wasn't there. "Where's Naruto?"

"Still fast asleep, we tried waking him... multiple times." I giggled and nodded at Kakashi. I followed closely behind Tazuna, another boring day at the bridge.

The walk was mostly silent, no one was talking, as we approached the bridge. The fresh scent of blood hit my nose, something was wrong. I looked at Kakashi. "I smell blood, fresh blood."

He nodded and we all picked up the pace, Uchiha guessed something was wrong and took my side.

"Whats happening?" Uchiha asked and looked at me. I looked him n the eye, smile gone. "I smelt blood."

Uchiha eyes widened slightly, trying to remain calm. Mist began to cloud us as we walked onto the bridge, bodies were everywhere.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Kakashi." We heard from inside the bridge. "And is seems the boy is still trembling, pitiful."

I looked over at Uchiha, he was shaking. He suddenly smirked and said. "I am shaking in excitement."

"The boys all yours, Sasuke." Kakashi said, referring to the hunter nin. I smiled and looked at Tazuna. "That means your life is in my hands."

He smirked, yet his eyes still held fear. Can't really blame him I guess. "I guess I can trust you, shorty."

Zabuza sent clone towards us, which me and the Uchiha stopped. Kakashi had went to start the fight with Zabuza.

I moved a little and stood directly in front of Tazuna, eyes closed. "Nothing is going to stop me."

"How long have you been doing this?" Tazuna asked me, I think he means how long I have been a ninja. "I have been with this genin team for a little over a week. Overall I have done a job like this since I was seven, my adoptive mother taught me everything I know."

"I see." Tazuna looked down, having a face of pity, the one emotion I hated to receive. My magic was focused on sensing, a tip I had learned from Master.

The Uchihas power had been encased in Chakra. Due to the mist I couldn't quite see what it was. Then it hit me, I can get rid of the mist.

My cheeks puffed up as I took in a huge breath of air, taking my stance. "Sky Dragon ROAR!"

A beam of wind came out of my mouth, the mist retreating from the sudden shock. I could see pretty clearly now. I listened in on Kakashi's seemingly friendly conversation with Zabuza.

"This can't be, how is the boy faster than Haku." So Haku is the hunters name.

"You picked a fight with the wrong genin." Kakashi started. "Sasuke is this years top rookie. Naruto is our number one hyperactive knucklehead ninja. And lastly Hailey is our, whatever she needs to be kind of person."

I smiled, thanks Kakashi, I mentally said to myself.

"Haku, take this seriously or you will lose." I looked over to their fight, ice chunks has surrounded Uchiha.

"The boy has lost, he can't beat Haku now." I watched Haku go into the ice, his reflection came through all of them. Needles shot towards Uchiha, go into him like a pincushion. Shit, what do I do now.

I made a couple hand signs, a shadow clone had appeared. "My real body will go and help the Uchiha, the shadow clone will stay with you. I'm sorry I can't stay here."

"I understand, do what you need to do, shorty." I smirked and ran towards the ice jutsu.

I jumped in and reflected a bunch of needles with my iron arm. The Uchiha had smiled just a little.

I grabbed his hand and brought him to his feet, this should be a fun fight. I took a stance, watching the mirrors, and attempting to find the real Haku.

Another round of needles came, shuriken came and deflected most of them. "Sorry but heroes always arrive at the last moment, no fear Naruto Uzumaki is here!"
